EDISON'S LATEST INVENTION.
Another marvelous development of voice-recording machinery is an¬ nounced and Thomas A. Eldison is the inventor. This newest device of tbe brain of the wizard of Menlo Park is the telescribe, a combination of telepbone and phonograph, an in¬ strument which records on cylinders the conversation and messages sent by wire and is expected to eliminate millions of written letters annually. Thirty years ago, the aged Inventor predicted the perfection of such a device, and as had happened In many other Instances, he has fulfllied hla own prediction. The idea Is simple. Kach telephone is equipped with two receivers at eac bend. By turning, a switch, all that Is spoken hy both persons in communication is recorded on both cylinders. Typewritten tfanscrlpts are exchanged for con¬ flrmation, and the telephone talk is made as binding as a written con¬ tract.
This Is the direct result, but the ij|direct result will doubtless be far- liBr reaching. Persons speaking through the telephone realizing that they are using not only their own time, but the time of a clerk and the coet of cylinders, will talk less and much unnecessary conversation wiil be ellmlnted with beneflt to business efflclency.
The new devise should also act as a check to corruptioniats in business, politics and society, who have found .the telephone a safer method of com . mnnicatlon than letters or personal calls.

KEEPDIO PACE WITH THE TIMES
We know tbe ground we are treading on.
Bald a feminist to a friend — It's slD^ply a shifting of interest.
And we think we can see the end.
We don't expect to change our ideas, Just to suit a few stupid men—
With proper, Justlfleo distinction, There> a kind, that'll not known as men.
It's beoofning manifestly sure,
That we're working along right lines— And reason will strangle stupid thought, For we wiil keep pace with tbe times.
There are scattered points to be thought of. That we'll harmonize with the rest— Our widening channel of worthy acts. Will meet, and stand a standard test.

BAGGAGE INSURANCE.
Under the Cummins act, which went Into effect Wednesday, persons checking trunks at railway stations In the Unite dStatea are obliged to In the United States are obliged to Heretofore the railroads carried trunks and other baggage to 150 pounds free and assumed liability in case of loss up to $100.
The carriers hold it impoaslble to asume unlimited liability, to which they might be held under the pro¬ visions of the Cummina' act, but they will Insure the owner of baggage for all value declared beyond $100 on a basis of 10 cents for every addi¬ tional 100 pounds.
On the face of things it would ap¬ pear as if both railroads and pas¬ sengers would have a larger measure of reasonable protection under the new system.
Baptist.
The regular services will be held in the Baptist church on Sunday.
Last Sunday morning about twenty members of Troops 21 and 43 of Brooklyn, under command of Scout¬ master M. L. Oxenham, attended the service. The pastor changed the character of the service and ad¬ dressed the boys on "Elements of Greatness."

(By Special Correspondent.) Because of the backward season, and of the fact that the week-ends have been qpnslstently bad, the en¬ trants in the proposed Decoration Day tournament were disappointed to learn that it had been decided to post¬ pone the affair until some time later. Although a sufficient numher ef par¬ ticipants, had entered to make a suc¬ cessful tournament. It waa deemed advisable to wait until the week of tbe July 4th holiday, so that a larger list might be-aecured, aud so that the general calibre of tennis might be of a aomewhat better grade. All of the six courts of the club were working overtime last Monday, but the type

Many of our beet players were having seemingly endless difflcutly in locating the in¬ terior boundaries of the courts and were bombarding the backstops with a speed and pace whiCh bespeaks clasa A rating when control has been more consistently mastered.
During t^e past week the ground- keeper, has been busily engaged in perfecting the drainage system and is fliling and grading the northeast cor¬ ner of the property. The.job is now completed, so that the courts are in practically perfect condition. It is to be devoutly hoped that the weather dispenser wiil be more favorably dis-

PROTECTION FOR WILD ROWERS
And now a closed season for wild flowers Is advocated in many quar¬ ters, to give nature an opportunity to recuperate. There is complaint In many parts of the couutry that beau¬ tiful wild growths, once to be seen and to be plucked In plenty are dis¬ appearing aitogetlier, A notable In¬ stance is the sweet trailing arbutus in the New England Statee.
This havoc wrought by the public is, we believe, mostly due to thought¬ lessness, rather tban wantonness, but selffisb interest doubtless often en- tei!s Into account.
Aroused human Interest is now saving the plumage birds of tho world and there seems to be no^ reason why it should not alao save from com- mercilism, as well as from careless¬ ness, tbe flowers of tbe fields and of the wood, which have come to this generation as a heritage,
One ot the most encouraging as¬ pects of preeent day social condi¬ tions in the United States is the rapid growth of a tendency on the part of individuals to familiarize scientific study, coupled with a growing faith in the efficacy of citizenship. Each year the teaching of history, civics, and aimilar subjects is receiving greater attention in the public schools and during the laat two decades many of the large universi¬ ties and colleges have established de¬ partments devoted solely to the study of political and economic problems.
In response to the popular demand for such instruction, Dr. Thomas B. Lough, director of the summer school in New York University, has decided to establish a new department In that school this aummer, which will be de¬ voted entirely to courses In hiatory,4^°°°. , , . . . government and aoclal sciences, with ^°^'^ ^*^ *^ ^°°'^ *^ ^^^ ^°°<*-
Reliable Lamidrymen,
Our recent prediction ttaat the Park Laundry would flll a long felt want in Freeport certainly has been realised. From tbe mofient of the appearance of their flrst notices of eatenslon of service, orders came speeding over the phone.

special reference to present day problems in these fields. The new department will be under the direc¬ tion of Dr. Stuart Cameron McLeod of the department of puhlic affairs in the school of commerce, and in a special bulletin issued recently some thlrty-flve couraea in history, govern¬ ment, economics, finance and soci¬ ology are announced for this year.
The purpose of the experiment is to afford an opportunity to buay men and women to secure practical knowl¬ edge of current aoclal and political problems through an hour or more of study each day during July and the early part of August, and at the same time to offer teachers and others en¬ gaged In Instruction along these lines an opportunity to improve their equipment foi^uch work.
The movement iS signiflcant, not only from' an educational point of view, but as an indication of the in¬ creasing popular demand for scien¬ tific information on public questions.
Further infortnation and copies of this bulletin may be secured from Dr. Stuart Cameron McLeod, New York University^ Washington Square, New York City.
